AquaJohn Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 is there a place in Austin or San Antonio that actualy have 240+ gal tanks that you can walk in and buy that day or are large tanks all custom done ? Any recomendations on a shop to visit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Woods Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I would say that a 180g or 210 is probably the biggest any store may have in stock from time to time. A 240g+ will most likely need to be ordered but they can generally get them in just a few weeks. The bigger tanks take up floor space and don't sell real often so stores don't keep them in stock often, unless they are doing it for an annual sale or something along those lines. Jake at RCA can definitely hook you up with what you want, He will just have to order it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Texas marine and tropical in San Antonio always has tanks in stock when I stop in. I know they have 210s and 180s. Not sure if any are bigger, but I wasn't looking for one either. In town, maybe a 90 or 125 but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasean Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Are you looking for new or used? There are usually a few large tanks on CraigsList. I also saw a large (300 gal I think) used tank at Amazonia the last time I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Aquadome will order them. If they are a normal supplier, the shipping was negligible last I asked. Gary said it normally takes a week or two which isn't bad. I don't know if perfecto or aqueon make larger than 210 though, so that may be a no go.

Aqua-Dome Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Marineland makes a couple of large tanks in their Deep Dimension Series, 250g and 300g. There are no Texas distributors that carry those in stock at this time, therefore we do not have current pricing for them. We can get you pricing if you would like. The largest tank manufactured by Aqueon is 215g, the largest standard size by Deep Sea Aquatics is 215g. We can certainly get you a quote from Deep Sea Aquatics for any dimensions that you would like. Lead time on a special order size is usually 3-4 weeks. Any standard size 210g or 215g will generaly take 3-5 days to get in. Hope this helps. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
